    "content": "the tune. The governors should collect revenue to fund their systems. They are usually told that they will be given money and if that is not realised at one time, they will rock the boat. I think this is where we are headed. That is why, sometimes, we are unable to finance the national debt and have capital expenditure. At the moment, everything is at a standstill and the businessmen are being auctioned. If you read the newspapers, you will see many Kenyans being auctioned and yet, they did business with the county or national Government. They have not paid and if you check their banks records, their vehicles and trucks are being auctioned. We have to do something for this country through the budget. We have to take this money where it is required so that our country can grow. Every time people say in 1978, Kenya was at par with the East side and the dollar was almost equivalent to the Kenya Shilling. However, we were left behind. During that time, we took money to the agricultural area. Everybody leaving school was being employed in the farms. Our farming sector was doing very well. Coffee, tea, pyrethrum and cotton were doing very well because we took money where it belonged. Today, we give money to irrelevant issues and keep complaining about unemployment in Kenya. With those few remarks, I support this Bill."
